Prices are now at around the mid-$900 mark for parallel imported phones. While this is a wonderful phone and something I would want to have eventually, it's never going to be as popular as the S3. So I am betting that it won't take long for the price to fall under $900.

By Christmas, it is likely to be down to the low $800s. Bring it on!

I wouldn't count on its price falling too fast, last year's Note held its value for quite some time. While it won't be as popular as the S3, Samsung are using price as a brand-image tool with the Note handsets in setting premium pricing.

This initial fall is to be expected, they've just milked early adopters a bit :)
